Album Review
Meanwhile the name COMBICHRIST is obligatory. Andy LaPlegua, mastermind of the formerly known Synth-pop project ICON OF COIL now is the head and creative part of COMBICHRIST. And he´s really creative: after four full length albums and six EP releases, COMBICHRIST is one of the top acts in Industrial / Noise genre. Proof for the success is the fact, that LaPlegua and his crew are support of RAMMSTEIN on their recent tour. The now available release is a kind of “Best of”, as you can say so. ‘Noise Collection Vol. I’ is a package of the first four releases of COMBICHRIST that were out of print. CD 1 is therefore the rerelease of COMBICHRIST’s first album ‘The Joy of Gunz’. Although the first release is seven years ago, this piece of music is still not lacking of its power and originality. Songs like ‘Joy of the World’, ‘Vater Unser’, ‘Bulletfuck’ and club-hit ‘God Wrapped In Plastic’ are outstanding and forward-looking.
CD 2 contains the rare ‘Kiss The Blade’ EP, originally released as a Halloween-Special, as well as the EP ‘Sex, Drogen Und Industrial’, one of the probably most played releases nowadays in clubs. Furthermore, the second CD contains the unknown mix of ‘Sex, Drogen Und Industrial’ and the ‘Vater Unser Combicritter Remix’ plus (!!!) two tracks of ‘Blut Royale’ vinyl single and (!!!) ‘Like To Thank My Buddies’ recorded live at Infest 2004. And as if that was not enough... ‘Strike’, exclusively recorded for the sampler ‘Industrial For The Masses Vol. 2’ can also be found on this release. Of course, the releases are not of the maturity than recent releases, but it´s a chance to collect the earlier songs and releases of a combo that is leading the scene to new shores. Pretty much music for a low price… No doubt, that there´s only one conclusion, I´m supposed to advise: Go and get it!
